Is inetutils or some programs in it provided or installed by default in Debian or Ubuntu? If not, why does Debian or Ubuntu not include it? Is it because they have better alternative programs in other packages? For example,
inetd is included in inetutils, and it is not found on Ubuntu or Debian. What similar program is installed in Debian or Ubuntu by default?
syslogd is included in inetutils. Does Debian or Ubuntu use rsyslogd instead? Which package does rsyslogd belong to?
By default inetutils* it is not installed in Debian or Ubuntu.
The alternative to inetd may be xinetd or rlinetd. as the definition of the package say: replacement for inetd with many enhancements
rsyslog provide the rsyslogd (/usr/sbin/rsyslogd)
The rsyslog come with the rsyslog.service, it is enabled by default.
To answer the comment:
bsdutils provide logger (/usr/bin/logger)
openbsd-inetd provide the inetd.
syslogd and inetd normally provided by inetutils? (logger is provided by both inetutils and util-linux, but seems to be normally by util-linux in Debian)
